Yea, I think we are gonna go for more romance, less sex appeal. I can't wait to see your wedding photos, your plans all look so elegant.

Thanks.......i was thinking the same for yours. Be sure to get a good look at the gazebo pond for me. When does your flight leave? Are you all packed up?

ive heard a lot of resort and photographers in those areas will say taht just so you wont try and realize there are ways around that. usually you just have to pay for them to stay at the hotel which most couples do

Has anyone used Brian Nejedly out of Jamaica?

FYI, I had ZERO problems with Michael. We changed our package to the free package. During our meeting Chandlyn told me that if we wanted pics, we'd have to go to Photoshop and talk to Michael - because he wouldn't know about our wedding since the free package doesn't include his services.

 

NO PROBLEM MON!

We used Robin dePaula. We brought out own video camera and had 2 friends in charge of it. Not sure how it turned out yet! Reggie did wedding videos for my brother & for one of my cousin's, so he'll be editing and designing it for us.

My hair - geesh, that's a story! I'll put it into my review but here's the cliff notes version... did a hair trial on Tuesday, went back Fri for my hair... they thought I was there for a trial and the woman who DID the trial wasn't there (I didn't have a pic, we just were kinda winging it). So I ended up with something completely different. But it's all good - I loved it!!!

OK, here's what we did...
1. Welcome Dinner
2. after Welcome Dinner, Robin & I went to my suite and did a mini-BD session
3. Wedding Day - she took us ALL over the resort to so many different locations - they're going to be fantastic!!
4. TTD on Sunday - 2 locations: Coyaba River Gardens (the garden area and IN the waterfall!!!), and the ROR beach.
